[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people threatened when other people's children decide to go out of state?[/quote]

They're not?  However, some of the reasons ("13th grade"?) are just absurd.  [/quote]

No, I do think that people with kids in state are threatened in some way. That little inkling of doubt of what their child may be missing. My kids are both in state and I always wonder what their college experience might be away from the (in our case) N. VA bubble.[/quote]

IDK. I have a kid at an OOS SLAC and a kid at WM. They are both happy. They are both good fits. And as far as I can tell, the quality of the education at both is very high.  And is particularly good in their chosen fields.   Gotta admit though, I did do a little dance of joy inside when Kid 2 chose WM. We committed to paying for college with no loans. Doesn’t mean no sacrifice on our part though.

SLAC are all about fit.  My kids SLAC is no exception. His college is in a different state, but his campus feels less diverse in many ways than WM (which, before you say it, isn’t that diverse). [/quote]
